So says the article I posted. Thought I heard the one from the 80's were.

I made a typo. I should have used grams in all those comparisons.

M-80s, the kind banned in 1966 held 3 grams or 3000 mg of flash powder. The 1980s brand of M-80 was far less powerful than that.

1/4 stick of Dynamite holds ~50 grams or 50,000 mg of suspended Nitro.

Sorry for the confusion.

Prayers? Lets say you are choking to death. A person recognizes you are choking and asks you, "would you like me to pray for you or would you rather I did the Heimlich maneuver? Which would you choose?

What do you want him to say?

I am happy that we haven't gotten a pointless gun control platitude like we used to get from Obama before the bodies were even accounted for.

There's a law on the books that does not allow adjudicated mental defect to own or posses firearms.

Maybe they need to start putting metal detectors in every school and not just schools in the “hood”. Especially areas where guns are accessible

Rip to all the victims, this is a tragedy

Has a mass shooting ever happened at a school in the "hood"? I'm curious - I can't remember any. They've all been good schools with good reputations, from what I recall.

This current whack job may have sought to beat that number.

Imagine being the public defender assigned to defend him?

The defenders only goal is to get life without parole as opposed to death penalty. In Florida this will result in death penalty.

I think he said no child should be scared to go to school. True. What should he have said? Tell me what a past President said or did to make this go away because I can’t think of one.
